stupid questions

[BigB]

has anyone ever (maybe i just missed it) posted an illustration of just how a call works mechanically as the air is blown in at the mouthpiece and thru the call and out the exhaust?

This is for a duck call, but the same principal applies to a predator call:



You are asking some good questions, so keep asking. You might want to start a new thread for each question, since runon threads can deviate off of topic easily and you might not get all of your questions answered before the thread turns another direction.

THATS what i'm talking about, and on another level, to carry it further, so i can wrap my head around it, what makes the diff., in an airflow mode, between a high/medium/low pitch predator call. cause i honestly don't know. and would like to. but ur diagram is exactly what i was talking about. thanks!

Nothing different in air presentations. It is how the reeds are cut that gives different voices. A longer reed usually means a deeper tone. A narrow reed usually means a higher pitch. Reed thicknesses also plays into how it sounds.
